All Hyundai EVs are expected to support over-the-air updates. Because of this, experts think that the automaker is following Tesla's strategy when it comes to keeping cars updated.
The South Korean automotive manufacturer confirmed this effort on Wednesday, Oct. 12, during the "Unlock the Software Age" global online forum.
Hyundai Motor Group even unveiled its new roadmap. The automaker announced that it would invest more than $12 billion just to transition its car models into the so-called SDVs (Software Defined Vehicles).

Hyundai stated that it is expecting around 20 million units to have the over-the-air feature by 2025.
On the other hand, Hyundai Motor Group said that its first plan is to launch two new platforms called eM and eS, which are specifically designed for Kia, Genesis, and Hyundai vehicles.
The eM platform will be used for consumer EV units. Meanwhile, the eS system will be used for logistics, business segments, as well as deliveries.
Other Efforts of Hyundai
Aside from developing new platforms, the giant automaker added it it would establish a global software center in Korea.
The car manufacturer explained that this would allow it to recruit developers to help it design efficient systems for its OTA features.
Once the first software center is completed in the Asian country, Hyundai said that it would add new centers in other countries, as reported by Forbes.
In other stories, the new Hyundai Rolling Labs is expected to keep the car culture.
Recently, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is set to arrive as early as 2023.
